What a cute cottage less than 10 minutes from Boca Grande Island. We took our dogs who had a ball in their .25 acre yard. We felt right at home with everything we could possibly need. Kelly was extremely accommodating and even left us a few goodies in the fridge to get us started. This was our 1st Airbnb experience and it was superb.

Friendly and inviting host...gorgeous home and neighborhood. Shartrina's place looked and smelled fantastic. The lush gardens, beautiful pool, and (URL HIDDEN) was like a spa (URL HIDDEN) peaceful and relaxing. Shartrina also taped the Olympics, which I really appreciated.

Krysia2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

Shartrina welcomed us as we arrived and showed us to our room along with a tour of the yard, lanai and pool area. The room has a private entrance with a large bathroom, everything was very pleasant and clean. Towels were extra fluffy and the bed was amazingly comfortable. We were given beach and restaurant recommendations even before we arrived via text from Shartrina, her picks were perfect! This location is great, a short drive to lots of fun! She kept in contact with us if we needed anything via text and was very lovely to meet!

Bob2017-04-13T00:00:00Z

A wonderful experience. I was a little concerned when I first arrived since it is a bedroom, hallway, and bathroom. The saving grace and the reason I would return repeatedly is the nearly private pool and large lanai. I enjoyed the pool and time sitting and enjoying the beauty in the lanai. The host, location, and facilities fully met my needs.

Visit our AfterDune Delight beachfront vintage 2 bed/1 bath island cottage and discover the less-traveled, pristine beaches of Little Gasparilla Island! No cars here...you must take the water taxi to our little paradise. Once here you can truly get away from it all!

Our quaint 2 bedroom 1 bath cottage is basically on the beach! Just walk out the front door and across the deck and it’s just a few steps down the path. It is 726 sq ft and has a rustic and cheerful vintage island style but has been nicely updated with granite counters in kitchen and bath.
One bedroom has a queen bed and the other has a set of twin bunk beds. There is a kitchen with a breakfast bar that opens to the dining area with its double french doors that lead to the patio/deck. A small living room has a sofa, coffee table and flat screen TV. The bathroom has a new tiled shower (no tub) and there is also a basic outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand and salt before entering the cottage.
Cook your fresh catch of the day on the outdoor grill on the large patio/deck while viewing the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Dine with the double french doors open wide to catch the wonderful sea breezes inside, sip on your favorite beverage at the kitchen breakfast bar, read a book at the water's edge or hunt for fossils and shark's teeth, maybe soaking up some rays on the deck or viewing every sunset during your stay is in order? Whatever your choice, the cottage is the perfect place to spend your time. (Please note there is a large ground level patio/deck but the roof top deck is not in service at this time).
It is rare to still find an "old Florida" experience such as this. This private and incredible beach location ensures you experience the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the mainland in a very casual atmosphere. At our cottage you can relax and leave all your worries behind.
It is recommended to bring all of your groceries/supplies with you as there are no stores or restaurants on the island. You can however pay the water taxi to take you back to your vehicle so you can travel to one of the excellent restaurants/bars on the mainland. For those that like to stay active there are rentals for kayaks and paddleboards that can be delivered from outfitters on the mainland.
Modern amenities are present including AC/heat, satellite TV and wifi should you choose to use them.
This is a new listing on this website but we can refer you to another site that has several reviews if requested.

A true hidden treasure; Little Gasparilla Island is a bridge less, tropical barrier island just off the West Coast of Florida located midway between Tampa and Naples not far from the cities of Boca Grande and Englewood Florida. Unspoiled by seawalls and high rises, it has no roads and no car traffic, just white sand paths for exploring. Here you'll find 7 miles of pristine white sandy beaches, fantastic fishing opportunities, an abundance of sea shells and prehistoric shark's teeth to gather, dramatic sunsets and balmy tropical breezes.
Nature lovers will enjoy Don Pedro State Park which is only about 200 feet up the beach from the cottage. The island park boasts a large pavilion and two miles of private beach and is a wonderful place to just get out in nature. The park is only accessible by boat or kayak ensuring minimal visitors. Keep your eyes peeled for endangered species such as West Indian manatees, gopher tortoises, bald eagles and American oystercatchers.
The twisting sand trails add to the charm and appeal of the island. They are fantastic for early morning or late evening walks and general exploring. Some guests opt to rent a golf cart for more access or longer excursions.
There are about 400 single family homes and about 130 individual condo units on the island. The condo units are all located at the south end of the island. AfterDune Delight cottage is located away from the condos on the north end.

This beach front cottage is truly one of a kind. Open the French doors and you're on the beach! Our family of four enjoyed an amazing week. No hotels, no tourist traps, no crowded beaches. They have everything you need at the beach: umbrellas, kids toys, chairs, and blender for your drinks! It's an amazing place on a perfect beach. I recommend it to anyone wanting a family friendly, quiet beach getaway.

The Bamboo Beach House is a comfortable cottage perched right at the edge of Little Gasparilla's beautiful and pristine beach. From your front porch you can watch a daily show as shorebirds stroll by, lazy manatees float by and schools of porpoise cavort outside. The water's edge is just a few steps from the front stairs and you can't beat the convenience of having your base of operations right at the edge of the beach!

Inside, the cottage features a kitchen with a brand new stove and refrigerator. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need for any kind of a beach meal you could wish to prepare. The dining area overlooks the beach and the living area is decorated with eclectic bamboo furniture. Soaring high ceilings feature natural wood for a rustic look that complements the bamboo furnishings. The style is beach house chic yet very comfortable. Vintage oriental carpets cover the hardwood floors and add to the warmth. It also comes with a gas grill and it is hooked up to city water so you don't have to bring bottled water from the mainland.
The home is cooled with state of the art mini split AC units in most of the rooms. There is also a brand new stackable washer dryer in the hallway. The guest bedroom features two twin beds. The master bedroom is large and spacious with a queen bed and a luxurious newly renovated bathroom with glass tile and a large shower and jetted tub.
But the piece de resistance of this home is its perfect location right on the beach and its lovely front porch overlooking the beautiful blue water. You can't ask for much more!

Leave your car and your cares at the marina because Little Gasparilla is accessible only by water taxi! That means our beaches are uncrowded and tourists and traffic are just a mainland memory. If you are looking for a quiet tropical island to relax and unplug, Little Gasparilla is your dream vacation spot. Our "nightlife" consists of giant sea turtles laying their eggs -- our only bar is the sand bar where you can find sand dollars and shells!

It was a nice relaxing vacation. You can't beat the proximity to the beach!

Teela2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

The wall of sliding glass doors easily glide open to provide seamless access between indoors and the private porch situated in tropical splendor. New hardwood floors, tile, HVAC, and ceiling fans in every room are provided for your comfort.

As part of the barrier island chain that includes Sanibel and Captiva Island, Little Gasparilla Island offers privacy and tranquility and a rare sense of peace not found at many Florida vacation spots. Many days you can walk the beach for hours without seeing another soul. As a bridge-less barrier island, accessible only by water taxi, Little Gasparilla has fewer tourists, no high rises and no crowds on the beach. You vacation with dolphins and egrets, gopher tortoises and sea turtles. Island neighbors are friendly and always willing to offer a helping hand.
The island offers 7 miles of beautiful pristine beach unspoiled by either seawalls or high-rises. During the summer, the beach is a nesting spot for endangered sea turtles which lay their eggs in the warm sand near the dunes.
The shells on the island are among the most plentiful on the West Coast and the beaches are dotted with prehistoric shark's teeth free for the collecting. The best time to go shelling is just before and at low tide and after a storm. Be sure to check the high tide lines where the surf often tosses the largest shells. The sandbars are home to sand dollars, whelks, starfish and conchs.
There is water taxi service that operates daily between 8:30 AM and 5 PM by appointment. You just phone them, tell them your dock number and they will pick you up at a local marina (where you also park) and drop you at your dock.
There are several golf courses within 10 minutes of the marina, and an excellent fish market just across Lemon Bay. There are charming gift and souvenir shops in the villages of Placida and Boca Grande.
Boat rentals are available in Englewood, Placida and Boca Grande and there are also many fishing charters in Placida and Boca Grande.
You must bring all your groceries over with you on the water taxi. There is an excellent fish market in nearby Placida and several mainland restaurants are also reachable by boat.
There are no hotels, motels or restaurants on Little Gasparilla Island.
Bird watchers will spot egret and osprey, rare white pelicans, blue herons, and even the occasional bald eagle. The waters are rich with manatees and dolphins and the waves are gentle and calming and perfect for floating on a raft. The bottom is mostly white sand, so there is little to see while snorkeling...though you can often find sand dollars off the sand bar.
Fishing from either the dock or the beach can provide daily entertainment -- and a hearty meal depending on your luck…and at the end of a long day, a breathtaking sunset over the Gulf of Mexico gently eases you into the evening.
Please note that most all houses on Little Gasparilla island are on stilts. Unfortunately, we are not handicapped accessible. Small children will require supervision on the stairs.
Please note there is no smoking in the island house.
Come ready to relax and to enjoy gulf waters, warm breezes, sugar white sand paths. No cars, only golf carts, means a slow and quiet environment to de-stress and get away from it all.
Ready. Set. Slow.

Little Gasparilla Island is a tropical barrier island located just off the Southwest Coast of Florida. Situated halfway between Sarasota and Ft. Myers, it benefits from cool tropical breezes in the summer and warm sunshine in the winter. It is just north of Gasparilla Island, separated by Gasparilla Pass. It lies west of the town of Placida, separated by Placida Harbor. It is connected with Don Pedro Island to the north by a thin strip of beach. It borders the Gulf of Mexico to the west.
The most unique attribute of Little Gasparilla is its lack of a bridge. All access is by private boat or water taxi. There are no roads and no cars, and traffic and tourists are just a mainland memory.
The island offers 7 miles of beautiful pristine beach unspoiled by either seawalls or high-rises. During the summer, the beach is a nesting spot for endangered sea turtles which lay their eggs in the warm sand near the dunes.

The sandbars are home to sand dollars, whelks, starfish and conchs.
Mostly, Little Gasparilla offers privacy and tranquility and a rare sense of peace not found at many Florida vacation spots. Many days you can walk the beach for hours without seeing another soul. Yet island neighbors are friendly and always willing to offer a helping hand. There is a quaint island chapel which offers non-denominational services from time to time and which has been the site of memorable island weddings.

We had hoped for warmer weather but that is the only complaint we have. The house was as nice as it appeared in the photos. Rhonda was the perfect host. Very diligent and quick to respond to all questions. If only all property owners were as good!

Keith2015-02-07T00:00:00Z

Island living is indescribably delicious at Casa Contenta ... Simple elegance from start to finish in every way, with every single detail perfectly executed. From sunrise on Lemon Bay only steps away to breakfast on the lanai surrounded a lush tropical garden, from beach time in the Gulf sun to slow golf cart drives along winding sandy paths ... Cannot get enough of the island and Casa Contenta . Rhonda is the most responsive and helpful host I've ever worked with and the property is perfection in every way; I'm only a day off the island and already planning my next trip back. Thank you for introducing me to the wonders, the absolute joys of island life :)

Rhonda's home is a perfect place to capture to Little Gasparilla experience. Everything that you need is there. We did not want to leave. We did not wear shoes for 6 days. A well rounded book and video collection is a one of the many pluses. The kitchen lacks for nothing, there are 3 devices for making coffee. I wish that we were still there.

Tony2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

My family and I just returned from a week-long stay at Casa Contenta. What a lovely visit it was! Quiet, secluded & perfect for a family reconnect. Central to both Lemon Bay and the ocean, we were steps away to either. Mornings consisted of long walks along the stunning beach (so many shells and so much wildlife I was constantly amazed); in the evenings after watching the spectacular seaside sunset, we would sit on the bay-side dock to fish or just star-gaze. Sometimes we were treated to a dolphin or manatee visit as well. Rhonda, your house is just precious. It lacked nothing that we needed. We appreciated the DVD and book collections as well as the ability to wash clothes (remember, I have kids)! Also, a big thanks for your thoughtfulness in supplying the fishing rod that I asked about. Our children loved it! I would recommend to future renters to do a few things: be sure to reserve in advance with the water taxi as well as golf cart rental. Also if you plan to big water fish, make those plans with a boat captain early as well. If you think you want to dock fish, bring your own tackle and get some live bait from Eldred's Marina before crossing over to LGI. One final note, Paris, the property manager was thoughtful, attentive and available whenever we had any needs or questions. All in all, I would rate this experience as excellent. We were truly refreshed and blessed to be able to share this little piece of paradise for 7 days. Can't wait to come back to Little Gasparilla Island.

M2015-08-08T00:00:00Z

The Island House was like a dream. It was truly a paradise of relaxation. Our host was very helpful in preparing us for our stay and answering any questions that came up in our refreshing week of beach, sand, palm trees and ocean music. The natives (other vacationers) were friendly and also helpful. Personally, I found the screened in lanai the best feature of the house where I spent many afternoon hours having cocktails, taking a nap, or reading. I would definitely recommend this place to friends (as I already have)!

This is a private island with several private properties and residents. Some live on the island full time, and some are weekend only. I have one neighbor that is a full timer, and 2 neighbors that come on weekends. It is usually very quiet during the week. No street lights and no traffic. Very peaceful.
All the island residents are very friendly and accommodating. They know the island life..if you run out of coffee, ask a neighbor. We love to help each other. But please respect private properties and docks.

A wonderful spacious and clean island house on a quiet island. A quick trip on a water taxi and you get to paradise. The house is located on the quiet side away from the waves at the beach. A very short walk across the narrow island and you find yourself on an endless beach covered in white sand and a treasure of sea shells. The locals are friendly, and how could you not be in a great mood seeing as you are in paradise. If you're after a a place to unplug and unwind, you've found it. No traffc jams, no hustle and bustle. A refreshing change in scenery.

If you are looking for a rental on Little Gasparilla Island then look no further. We rented this house for a guys weekend of fishing and boating and we were all impressed with how communicative and friendly the owners were, how clean and well fitted the house was, and how great of a location it is in. You can't beat pulling up to a private dock that leads directly to the house, plenty of rod storage and a great fish cleaning station. I will be back, I think I found my new vacation spot!

Justin2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

This house is absolutely perfect, especially to be on such a secluded island. Amazingly clean, well kept, beautifully decorated, perfect location with a private dock. We will be back again for sure! Thank you!

Wonderful space for a family to spread out! 2 dining areas allowed for an adult table and a children's table and it worked well. The pool was a great addition. The location was very good and in close proximity to some amazing (URL HIDDEN) handy to have Publix at the entrance to the subdivision and we found lots of restaurants not too far away...rented a pontoon boat for a day and enjoyed the area from the water.

A wonderful, 'Old Florida,' Beach house. This island home is decorated with a nautical theme. Walk the beautiful hardwood floors and watch the sunset from the over-sized rear porch. Minutes walk on a sand road to the quiet seven-mile beach. This beach is perfect for swimming or collecting sea shells. You have to travel far in this world to find a beach like this.
Turtle Landing has an open floor plan, and comes with all the trimmings. Perfect for a family or friends to enjoy a stay at Palm Island. House has 1 cathedral ceiling and a large yard. Out the back porch is a long dock that is great for fishing, Kayacking or swimming in Kettle Harbor.
Turtle Landing will leave you in the 'old Florida' style that you expect. Island is accessed by ferry which operates 18 hours each day.
Driving time is one hour and ten minutes from Tampa, Florida.

Update January 2014 - The New private pool, Outdoor Grill and Fire Pit are now completed at Turtle Landing with the house ready for guests.

This is an extremely well designed and well-kept island house that offers extras for guests that no other house does. We limit the number of people who stay at the house to avoid the house being damaged or well-worn. To most, it will look like a house that was built yesterday when in fact it was built in 2001.

You will find a quiet island neighborhood filled with part-time residents and guests. Solitude and getting away from it all is the theme. Island is very safe.

We had a wonderful family time at Scott s house. This is a dream place on that perfect island that Palm Island is. We could not ask for anything better for our Christmas family gather with Grand parents, parents and two daughters 3 and 8. The house has everything we needed from kayak, stand up paddle board, bikes to go to the beach a great pool and spa, kids games and more. It is nested in a marvelous setting surrounded by luxurious trees and with a dock to enjoy watching wildlife that surrounds the place. The house itself is very clean as a great master bedroom another bedroom with independent bathroom and a kids room with their own bathroom. We have enjoyed taking our meals on the front terrace outdoor with fences to keep out any annoying mosquitos. Again this was a great place and house for our family and I thank Scott for offering this wonderful place on Airbnb. A must place to stay in Florida; we will come back I hope!

My place is located on Palm Island a block from the beach and the dock is on water connected to the intracoastal waterway. You’ll love my place because of the island living. My place is good for couples, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

The home is located on beautiful Palm Island. You will take a ferry ride across the intracoastal to the island. The home boasts a 120 inch movie theater screen, tiki bar, lifted golf cart, two kayaks, two paddle boards, and gas grill for use.

There is a wonderful restaurant on the island and an ice cream store for the late afternoon treat.

The house was exactly as described on the listing. The kitchen is fully stocked with updated appliances which made it very easy to cook at home for almost every meal. The beds are comfortable and our teenagers stayed in the bunk beds and slept well. We loved exploring the island with the kayaks and paddle boards and also enjoyed the nature the island provided such the gopher turtles, osprey and finding fossilized shark teeth on the beach. Rum Bay Restaurant and ice cream at the Palm Island resort is just a short golf cart stroll away the food is pretty good. My husband and the kids fished from the dock nightly then retired to watch the hockey finals on the large projection tv and electric theater style recliners every night. Kristi is easy to get a hold of if any problems should occur. I wouldn't change a thing.

We loved our stay here and on Palm Island, it is definitely for those who want a relaxing, secluded vacation with not much nightlife. The house was very clean upon arrival and equipped with everything we needed (cooler, beach chairs, umbrella etc.) for a great trip to the beach!

Morgan2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Kristi's place is absolute paradise! The house is beautiful and well equipped. It had everything you could ask for and more. We loved the uncrowded beaches, beautiful sunsets and all the amenities. Our stay was relaxing and restful!! Exactly what we wanted and needed!!!

LeaAnn2017-06-16T00:00:00Z

Kristi's place was very nice. My kids really liked the kayaks, surfboards, and the beach. I rented a boat and went fishing with my family and they really enjoyed that also. At some point we would like to come back for another holiday.

Eric2017-04-07T00:00:00Z

Kristi's place is amazing. The house is gorgeous perfect location and has everything for a relaxing vacation. Kristi was available to answer all our questions. We can't wait to come back! Thank you for everything Kristi!

Nicole2017-07-04T00:00:00Z

What an amazing place. Can't wait to go back. Ferry over to this amazing island. The house has a tiki bar, deck to the canal, paddle boards, and kayaks on the bottom floor. Also a golf cart for exploring the island as well as all you will need to go to the beach. The top floor has a screened in porch, wrap around deck, updated kitchen, 2 bed/2 bath, and a nook with bunk beds. The living room has a giant projection screen with 4 comfy recliners and 2 couches. Couldn't recommend enough

Brian2017-06-29T00:00:00Z

We had an awesome stay at Kristis House, it's better than the pictures show. The perfect place to relax. Kristi was a very good host. Every time again.

Philip2017-03-28T00:00:00Z

Palm Island is a special place! If you love peaceful walks along the gulf, or kayaking through mangrove tunnels, this is the place for you. The home is exactly as pictured. Having a golf cart to ride around was half the fun! The kitchen was well equipped and the beach was filled with shark's teeth and sand dollars! The sound system on the home theatre was amazing. The hosts were accommodating and responsive.

Driftwood Cottage is one of Little Gasparilla's most enduring landmarks. The inside features Florida heart pine walls and ceilings and some of the best views you will find on Little Gasparilla's beach. A brand new kitchen with a stunning hammered copper sink is a pleasure to cook in. New granite counter tops echo the color of the sand right outside the kitchen window and the kitchen offers views of the driftwood dotting the beach after which the cottage is named.

Two cozy bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with two twins, are perfect for a couple or small family. The house has one bathroom which could be considered either quite rustic or "urban chic" depending on your viewpoint. It is lined in galvanized tin with a simple shower and small sink. There is another outdoor shower for "open air" bathing.
There is a large screened porch with a dining table for outdoor dining. The porch has great views of the beach and delightful breezes day in and out. It functions as another living room and you will most likely spend most of your time on the porch reading, relaxing with a good book, and enjoying the cooling breezes.
The beach is just 15 steps from the front of the cottage, so you can meander down to the beach for a swim, come home easily for lunch and a nap, keep an eye on the kids from the front porch and run home in an instant if you have forgotten something -- or grab a quick snack. No more trudging 10 minutes over hot sand pathways with umbrellas and beach chairs and towels and coolers and the diaper bag -- everything you need is literally 15 steps away. This cottage is the height of convenience: cozy and comfortable, warm and welcoming (the pineapple is the symbol of hospitality and this house of covered with them!) and a unique and unusual place from which to enjoy the best of Little Gasparilla.
NOTE: This cottage DOES have another house that sits RIGHT in front of it. (How they ever got a permit to build it is a mystery to us.) The plus is that it blocks the hot summer sun and the worst of the wind and the rain in a storm. But, you do not have unobstructed views directly west. There are great views to the southwest and north west. But there may be people on the beach right in front of you at times that may impact the privacy of this house.

Leave your car and your cares at the marina because Little Gasparilla is accessible only by water taxi! That means our beaches are uncrowded and tourists and traffic are just a mainland memory. If you are looking for a quiet tropical island to relax and unplug, Little Gasparilla is your dream vacation spot. Our "nightlife" consists of giant sea turtles laying their eggs -- our only bar is the sand bar where you can find sand dollars and shells!

Great location. Be aware on an island so need to get a boat or water taxi there. Great for relaxing completely. Would definitely return but for longer and probably rent a boat. If you stay, you will have a fantastic time!

Escape to this secluded beach and nature lovers paradise Little Gasparilla Island; a bridge-less, car-less, 200 yard wide, barrier island right on the Gulf. AKA the "Green Roof Condos", LGI is only accessible by boat or by our private hourly ferry (included). There is a freshwater pool (also included) right on the island. Truly a fisherman's paradise with private dock. The unit has bamboo hardwood throughout and an open East view of the bay and screened lanai. High speed unlimited WIFI.

This is a true retreat in SW Florida's Gulf Coast. On this private barrier island, there are no bars, nightclubs, stores or restaurants. It is very quiet and naturally untouched. Wildlife is abundant and sea turtles nest here. Our condo is very clean, has all new appliances and equipment and has everything you need. Grab your groceries at the local Publix half a mile down the road (from our mainland entrance), jump on the Ferry and enjoy the peaceful serenity of Little Gasparilla Island.
Compared to other island properties, you have access to a pool, free garbage collection, free and secure car parking and free hourly ferry service to and from the island.

A true Fisherman's paradise with private dock. Some of the best Tarpon fishing in the world. Connected to Charlotte Harbor and next to Boca Grand. Our island is very peaceful, private, friendly and exclusive. No roads and no cars. Lots of palm trees, wildlife and a prestine sandy beach, great for shelling. Nearby areas; Placida, Cape Haze, Charlotte Harbor, Englewood, Venice, and Rotonda. Closest airports are Fort Myers and Sarasota.

This is exactly the getaway we were looking for. The place is exactly as listed and exceeded our expectations. The beach was beautiful and private, we were fortunate to have perfect weather and it was secluded with all the modern conveniences. Remote... but with Netflix and wi-fi! This is the most relaxed I have felt in years! We will definitely book again!

We loved staying on the very quiet and exclusive Little Gasparilla Island! Greg was always very responsive and made sure our tricky late arrival went smoothly. The ferry schedule takes some getting used to, but once you do, the quiet island life will lull you to sleep! The sand is so fine and soft it is like flour... we were on the beach all day every day. In December we had fantastic hot weather and had a really relaxing quiet time. The island residents were very welcoming and friendly, especially the ferry captain, Bill. He got us flash frozen shrimp one night, He was a wealth of local information and lore. The condo has everything you might need to cook and live and play for a week. We are really into cooking and every utensil and cooking item that we thought they couldn't possibly have- they did! We'd come back again in a heartbeat~!
